What's this Sholmes guy like?

[He'll sip on his whiskey.]

He's... something else.

[ There's a bit of a laugh. It's not bad, but he is amused. ]

It really depends on who you ask... But to me? There's no one else like him.

He can be extremely rude and seemingly careless in his actions. Flippant? And he seems to enjoy pushing people's buttons, but... He has a very honest heart if you get below that. It's not easy and he doesn't really let anyone in. But I think that's what makes it so special when he does.

Once I saw that, I couldn't leave him alone.

[battling]

[Bradley considering it...]

How the hell did Nero make friends with this guy?

[Hello? This seems like somebody he'd hate from minute one?]

Funny, isn't it?

Sometimes you end up in a situation where you end up bonding in the most unexpected ways... I didn't get the details, but I know they got a lot closer after Sholmes had been condemned about wanting to help.

It wasn't a great situation. Miscommunication and misunderstandings. Sholmes might have done some things wrong, but his heart was in the right place.

[ He sighs deeply over that. It sucked. ]

[battling]

I guess?

[He's pretty sure everybody he bonded with in his murdergame were people he'd be perfectly fine with one way or another.

Also when you die REALLY early you miss the majority of the drama.

But also miscommunication... He can see how that specifically was a bonding moment.]

Sholmes was protecting me. My secret. And had unintentionally hurt someone important to another party involved while looking for more roles and answers.

[ It's a mess, honestly. ]

[battling]

[Oh.

Oh Nero was projecting.]

Guess that makes sense for him.

[sponsoredby]

[ Sure was. ]

... He also figured out I had a role when it seemed like Sholmes and I had a public falling out.

[ He gives him a look. Hm. Now why would that be? ]

[battling]

Huh.

[He sips his whiskey.]

If he didn't talk about it, ain't my place.

... He gave me relationship advice to make sure to talk to Sholmes. When I told him we were, he said that was good. That I wouldn't have to throw him in prison forever and hope to never see him again.

[ Sorry, Bradley. Sorry, Nero. ]

[battling]

Uuuuuuh. What a weird thing t' say to a guy.

[sponsoredby]

Sure is, isn't it?

[battling]

Yeah.

[He doesn't like thinking about it.]

So uh. The window things?

[sponsoredby]

... Sorry if I brought up a sore topic.

[ He clears his throat. ]

Window thing is a way to travel between worlds, though.

[battling]

Don't mention it again to either of us.

[Seriously there's a reason they don't talk about That.]

Huh... We got a train. Portals seem more convenient.

[sponsoredby]

Noted.

[ Hey, it was mentioned to him. How was he supposed to know? ]

You can travel between worlds, too?

Ours is controlled by our coins. We can open up a doorway or window type of thing where we want to go when we visit the tree of life in the land of the dead.

[battling]

["I threw my ex in prison" is a lot?]

Yeah. Got a train that connected all our worlds together. The... what? Land of the dead?

[sponsoredby]

[ Valid. ]

Yours sounds interesting...

Uh. Yeah. The living had to go through windows and veils to get to the dead. It was where the bomb was being made to destroy the angels that put us in that war between sides.

[battling]

Damn, you got a whole fight outta it?

[... is he jealous? yes.]

We just had to write the endin' to our story.

[sponsoredby]

... Yeah. Ghosts, angels, spectres. A little bit of it all.

[ He would be lying if he said he didn't enjoy the end part. ]

What exactly do you mean writing the end of your story?

[battling]

Apparently, we got kidnapped by a sentient story that never got its ending. So it took a buncha people from other worlds and made them go through it's ideas, heroes, villains, and murders.

We had to give it an endin' that satisfied it so we could leave. Fuckin' pain.

...

That really is a strange thing to go through. A story, huh...

[battling]

When people died they got sent to daycare.

[MISERABLE.]

[sponsoredby]

...

[ He looks so confused by that. ]

Daycare...?

[battling]

Y'know? Where people leave their kids?
